“Hit Like A Girl” Premiered This Week I’m in love with this idea. The “Hit Like A Girl” contest is meant to inspire female drummers who work their asses off and continue to banish certain ideals about girls in bands, and it’s an all around awesome cause. In our scene, we obviously all know the lovely Jess Bowen as our go-to female drummer. She’s majorly involved with this project, and in the new mini-documentary they released you get to see her involvement with an amazing cause and contest. Oh, and in case you needed another push to watch, Beyonce’s drummer,… Read more »

A successful single does not an album make. If that were true, Vanilla Ice would have probably been much more successful and have never gotten arrested for stealing.… Read more »

Travis Barker Did A Thing And I’m Happy About It This will be the thrilling sequel to the book series I decided to start last week. But no, Travis deserves all the candy and flowers in the world for finally saying what we’ve all been thinking… Tom Delonge uses pro-tools and needs to grow a pair and quit. Beyond that, Travis’s interview with Alternative Nation was a thrilling, and exciting look into the future of Blink-182, hopefully with Matt Skiba, and what he’s doing on the side. I think this new Blink album is going to be one of their… Read more »
